Alto. Calvus

My Lfs has recently stocked some juvenile altos and I really like the look of them. Im fairly new to the species and I am wondering what other fish I can keep them with. Is it possible to keep them with malawis? Id like him to pair with any off this list: Yellow labsCobalt blue cichlids 5 bar cichlids

I wouldn't keep them with any on the list. Also alto should really be kept in tank atleast 100g

Another question I was wondering is that most people seem to keep two or three types of cichlid in groups of 4 or 5. Is this necessary or can you just mix and match as long as their compatible with each other?
